Original day off plan for afternoon film postponed, as I realised there was a screening perfectly timed for after work tomorrow, so instead stroll to local, a pint of Jarl, and get on with reading in preparation for Cymera Festival chairing duties.
I've not chaired a gig since before my surgery a few months back, now I have three author events within a month of one another to prep for. Lot of work, but also a lot of fun!
Continuing to read while also reacquainting myself with an old friend, a pint of Deuchars.
Along with Caley 80, my go-to ale for many years.
Really not what it once was, supplanted by newer, better IPAs, but still decent enough pint. On draught in the local (for a mere£3.90!), so indulging in nostalgia. Or should that be "nostalegia"?😋
The tiny but award-winning independent book - @TheEdinburghBookshop - is moving! Only a couple of blocks, but to much bigger premises.
It's a lot more than we planned for & will take a lot of work to make it ready, so we'll be adding fundraisers to help, & you can see some architect designs & plans on the bookshop site now https://www.edinburghbookshop.com/newshop

Met my wee ginger kitty chum on the walk home. Friendly mieows when I said hello, delighted in getting ear & chin scratches, purring happily all the time.
Adorable. 🐈 Contented purring is one of the best sounds in the world.
